Writer App Flowstate Will Delete All Your Work If You Stop Typing

— January 28, 2016 — Tech
This writer app erases everything if you stop typing. Available for iOS and Android devices, the Flowstate app by Overman encourages users not to self-edit and let the initial creation stand with a terrifying but effective incentive.

The writing and note-taking tool "is a response to the amphetanminic digital age" as it aims to put writers into a 'flow state' or get them into the zone and minimize distractions.

First, you pick a font and time on the writer app. Once the session begins, you have to have to remain in a flow and not stop for more than 5 seconds or else all your progress will be deleted. The only way to save your work is to keep writing until the session ends.
